The Megane has decided that it does not like the diesel it was fed and has gotten 'difficult' to start. It also starts throwing an electronic wobbly when the turbo kicks in. I'm guessing fuel pump or filter....

We had two and didn't have any trouble with the 07 one but the 04 one was a disaster for electrical stuff constant lights on the dash but never logging fault codes and didn't seem to have actual problems. From about 06 facelift meganes were a lot better I was talking to the buy we sold that 07 megane into it he sold it this year with 320k km on it and no issues at all from his ownership. When we sold it to him with 200k km on it. I done some lessons in a 07 Clio and the instructor has it from new 250k km on it when I was in it 3 years ago and he still has it. It was never in the garage for anything other than servicing and brakes and that yoke is on the road 12 hours a day. But it was the slowest death trap of a yoke I was ever in. 70kmh and the yoke was roaring at you in fifth gear.

It only had a new battery put into it on fcuking Friday last week! All the lights come on on the dash but absolutely nothing after that. No clicking, not even attempting to start. AAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. this isn't the Honda. P.S.S I noticed that the car took a bit longer to start when cold. Fcuk it anyway.

I consider those issues minor, as I look after my cars the wishbone issue only came up last weekend when I/we were servicing the car and we jumped on the suspension I'm one of the rare breed of owners who listen to their cars and questions anything weird, so much so that when I take my OHs car to our mechanic he listens to me and we have a laugh at the Oh I'd spent about 500e on a weekend away, would you spend that on a car ?
